Also, at the risk of exposing my unintellectual taste, my "O Isis Und Osiris" is the bassline of Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl."

That can't be any worse than my taste in music. This is one of my favorite CDs to listen to. ;)

(And I still can't sing this song from the beginning to the end without tearing up.)

Sounds like an even weirder version of Moore's paradox. "I like this music, which I consider to be bad music."

I know how you feel though... my particular albatross is that I'm a subdued teetotaller geek whose favourite songs invariably consist of whiskey, philandering and pub brawls, whack-fall-the-derry-o.

Well, I don't think it's bad music, just low status music. ;)

I enjoy a band that I believe to be of fairly mediocre quality. I've noticed that I can only enjoy them when I'm not paying close attention; as background music while I'm doing something else, they're one of my favorite bands, but when I deliberately put them on to listen to, they're painfully bad.
